When stumps were drawn at the Wanderers on January 26th, 1965 the Springbok captain, Trevor Goddard, was 11 runs shy of his long awaited Test century in the battle against England.

On three other occasions Goddard had made it into the nineties, including being given out, on 99, at the Oval, in 1960, when Colin Cowdrey held a controversial, disputed slips catch.
